Green Investment Flows Deras, RI Collects 7.7 Billion US Dollars Per Year From Carbon Market

JAKARTA - The Indonesian government has succeeded in mobilizing cross-sectoral investments worth US$7.7 billion or around Rp128.5 trillion per year through the carbon market scheme, which is now a strategic instrument in encouraging national green economy growth.

This policy is one of the important achievements conveyed by Indonesia at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30).

In addition to strengthening commitment to reducing emissions, the move also marks the opening of great opportunities for the entry of green capital from global investors.

The Ministry of Environment and the Environmental Management Agency (KLH/BPLH) said that the main pillar of this green financing strategy is the application of the Presidential Regulation on Carbon Economic Values (NEK).

These regulations form the basis for financing low-emission projects and strengthening the sustainable economic ecosystem in various sectors.

Minister of Environment and Head of BPLH Hanif Faisol Nurofiq emphasized that the transformation towards a green economy provides real benefits for the economy.

"COP30 is a momentum to prove that green development is not only possible, but also profitable," he said in a written statement received by VOI, Friday, November 7.

The government has previously stopped investments for the construction of new coal-fired power plants since 2023, as well as accelerated the closure of the old PLTU.

Langkah ini sekaligus mengalihkan aliran investasi ke sektor energi terbarukan, yang ditargetkan menyumbang 23 persen dari bauran energi nasional pada 2030.

Dengan dukungan regulasi dan kepastian politik yang kuat, Indonesia kini dinilai menjadi salah satu destinasi utama bagi investor global yang mencari pertumbuhan berkelanjutan.

Sektor-sektor seperti energi bersih, restorasi ekosistem, dan teknologi pengelolaan limbah modern diperkirakan menjadi pusat pertumbuhan ekonomi hijau dalam beberapa tahun mendatang.

This step also diverts investment flows to the renewable energy sector, which is targeted to account for 23 percent of the national energy mix by 2030.

With strong regulatory support and political certainty, Indonesia is now considered to be one of the main destinations for global investors looking for sustainable growth.

Sectors such as clean energy, ecosystem restoration, and modern waste management technology are expected to be the center of green economy growth in the coming years.
